cupcake trees in eden

i crafted with the kindergarten class today. while creating the garden of eden with construction paper, magazine clippings, markers, and crayons, one of the kids made a cupcake tree. awesome.
i bet there were cupcake trees in eden. everything was perfect before sin entered, right?

eagle eye

this isn't my secret, but it could be.

this past winter, patrick needed new glasses & he was trading in his clark-kent-hipster-thick-black-framed glasses for a new fancy pair. he was transitioning out of "youth-pastor/journalism major" pat into "i'm an english major/im buying designer glasses" pat. i was supportive of this decision. little did i know, that i wanted glasses also.

however, i, the black sheep in my nuclear family concerning genetic eye make-up, have 20/20 vision. which is also, apparently, not the best vision? this is news to me. whatever, i've got great vision. i have such great vision that the eye doctor decided i didn't need to come back every year. therefore, i missed less days in school & skipped out on finals. yet, this year, this time, i was determined to get glasses because i found these:

i wanted to cheat. i think i did cheat and skip over some letters. he knew me too well. the old man had been checking my corneas for about 16 years anyway. i remember the whole ordeal, calling my parents & telling them i needed glasses. it was like telling them i need braces...oh wait. i never got braces either.

i didn't get them. yet, i still pine. i've never wished for bad things to happen to me (that i recall), but i wouldn't mind if my vision dropped a hair, just enough for "reading glasses."

/sarcasm
/materialism
/i'm kidding
/but seriously.

i wish i had secret siblings

i downloaded this today after wanting it for awhile.

diy: braided scarf

i like the colours though. but not for 3 months rent. c'mon.



made by damir doma? whatever. neverheard of them before, but i dig their scarf.

yesterday, i went to walmart during my bout of the flu. i have something. i called the student health center & they turned me down? apparenty, i wasn't sick enough for them to motion a visit. i somehow made it to my car in a day-quill induced, menthol cough drop infused state of delirium.

i started to feel a little grumpier considering i was purchasing medicine again for the 2nd day in a row. i forgot cough drops and emergen-c. my mom would also carry emergen-c in her purse growing up and pass it out like candy whenever we sneezed. or  a set of wet-ones. i blame my mom for my poor immune system. wanna talk about overkill on washing your hands and remaining clean? let's talk about how i near zero anti-bodies, so when i get sick. I GET SICK. i really get sick about 3-5 times a semester. i somehow manage to catch each & every strain of the flu virus. (no, i don't think i have swine flu, but i did have an urge to watch Babe: Pig in the City)

my sister was bathed & cleaned so much as a child ( you're not supposed to give babies tons of baths, however, my sister was apparently too dirty for baby dirty ) & therefore she now has eczema, which is like permanently dry skin. oh mother.

once i picked up round two of ammunition, i decided if i was going to miserable in my bed that my stomach would at least be happy. so i picked up the typical: indulgent trail mix & chex mix. love it. and luna bars. i don't care if they are marketed towards woman, some of the best tasting food products are marketed towards women. plus, i'll just pull my "gender studies card," and say i don't subscribe to yadda-yadda and that usually works when i do something gender deviant. but seriously, luna bars are great. what essential nutrients & vitamins do women need that would possibly hurt me?

also, as a reward for enduring this bout of an upper respiratory infection/flu/whatever. i decided i needed netflix. like i said, if i'm going to bed ridden. my stomach is going to be happy & my mind is going to be zombified. zombified is a word, a red underline did not appear in my wordpress new post document.  so i ordered madmen season 1 & i love you, man. looking forward to these gems.
